I get what you mean about information being power. What would it be like to give all your power away with one touch? What would it be like to receive that much of someone's power in just one touch? These are interesting fantasies to ponder.

The one where I would give away my power, my total information. I could imagine doing this, or wanting to do this, as a way to continue to be less defended in the world. There was a point when I realized that in work-related matters (I work as a lawyer) where things are highly polarized often, I found that I was dropping my defenses and sort of going into "battle" with the other person's "weapon" pointed at me, but I just continued to talk and explain and try to empathize with the other side. It made the work so much less stressful, and actually more successful.

So what appeals to me about giving my information all away is that maybe there would be a parallel here, that by my T knowing all the crap about me that I really don't want anyone else to know about, there would be a sense of freedom and a sense of lightness that comes from dropping my defenses. And that once someone knows the things about you that you don't want them to know, someone I trust, then I wouldn't ever worry about these things that I hide in my shameful secrecy being used against me.
Thanks for this!
